Every state has an unclaimed property list......... It is money that was due to a person for things like leftover balance in a closed bank account..... refund for utility deposits.... etcetra.... All you have to do in type in Unclaimed Property and your state name and it will bring up link for you to search. We knew my brother was owed hospital refunds from during COVID... he never cashed the checks... and when we notified them we were told this was the way to get the money... he found other things too... a few hundred dollars worth...
What have you got to lose?
Like a treasure hunt..... you can check any names you want so you can look for family and friends ..... in these times any you can get back can be helpful.

Currently going through this with my Dad's "Estate". $40 claim split between a health care premium and a utility company credit. Had to send in photo ID's, death certificate, estate documents and a tax ID for estate. If you knew my dad you'd laugh about the word estate.

Better that you claim it than let it sit in limbo... $40 will buy half a tank of gas...... or a couple of decent wagers.....

You can't just let unclaimed property sit in the state coffers forever. While the number of years may differ by state, in every case if the property has not been claimed after being held by the state for a certain number of years, it will escheat to the state and may no longer be claimed.

One of the reasons I have posted it here….. There are people who don’t know this exists …. After you tell some people about it they want to think it’s a scam…. As evidenced by responses forum members can see it’s legit. I hope everyone who reads this check every state they have lived in and also search for relatives and friends….. GET YOUR MONEY !!!
